Mandriva: Updated clamav packages fix vulnerability Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Ulf Harnhammar discovered that the freshclam tool does not do a proper check for the size of header data received from a web server. This could potentially allow a specially prepared HTTP server to exploit freshclam clients connecting to a database mirror and causing a DoS. The updated packages have been updated to Clamav 0.88.2 which corrects this problem.
